Hulu Desktop In Windows Media Center

Yesterday I wrote about Hulu Desktop and expressed my wish for it to be integrated into Windows Media Center. Well, less than 24 hours later, enterprising enthusiasts have built a method for doing just that.

Mike Garcen of Missing Remote has detailed instructions for the necessary system tweaks that put Hulu Desktop in your Media Center menu. And Yaggs, the developer of Secondrun.tv, has an easier method for those a little leary about hacking around in their system.

It appears that both of these methods do not work via MC extenders because of Hulu’s use of Flash technology.

Hulu Labs Releases Hulu Desktop

Hulu labs has launched Hulu Desktop. Desktop is a new program that lets you sit back from the PC and navigate Hulu via a standard remote control. It is currently available for both Windows and Mac.

It would be better if we could just use all the features from with in Vista or Windows 7 Media Center but at least this is a start. There are other solutions for Hulu in media center such as PlayOn with the vmcPlayIt Media Center add on but this new Hulu Desktop gives you a much richer navigation experience.

Hulu – Labs: Hulu Desktop.
